"We are selling sex darling." —Suze Randall

Suze Randall, husband Humphry Knipe and daughter Holly are historically one the most important and influential families in the adult entertainment industry of the later part of the 20th century.

Humphry directed a series of well received adult films that in the mid 1980s, when such types of films were not yet dragged down with the shifting tides of erotic culture and the creeping influence of the internet. Under the alias Victor Nye, Ginger Lynn, Harry Reems and Lisa De Leeuw. Their daughter Holly, is one of the industry's leading female adult photographers.

While many women in the porn industry are used to being in front of the camera, Suze found she preferred being behind the lens. Susan "Suze" Randall is known for being a female pioneer in both the field of photography and pornography. As one of the first female staff photographers for both Playboy and Hustler, she broke into the male-dominated world of erotic magazines. It was during the 1980s, that she became one of the earliest female porn producers, paving the way for other women to follow. From there, she went on to provide Penthouse with photos that exhibited her erotic style and labeled her as one of the world’s leading erotic photographers for more than 35 years.

Working first as a nurse, then as a fashion model in the early 1970s, Randall gained attention for the erotic photographs she took of her fellow models. In 1972, she played an au pair in Éric Rohmer’s film, Love in the Afternoon. It was after this acting experience that she gave up modeling and devoted her time to erotic photography. She became the first woman to shoot Page 3 for The Sun newspaper, which is a feature that consists of a large photograph of a topless female glamour model, published on the newspaper’s third page.

Her breakthrough came when she spotted the pinup model Lillian Müller and photographed her for Playboy. Müller was chosen as Playmate of the Month in August 1975 and subsequently Playmate of the Year in 1976. In a pictorial in Playboy’s May 1976 issue, Randall was both photographer and model. She went on to shoot a much more explicit self-portrait in a June 1977 Hustler pictorial. When Randall started with Penthouse, her work was already well known and was admired by thousands of readers worldwide.

Humphry made films with the the notorious porn industry rebel Reuben Sturman, including a few movies with Traci Lords that were actually made just before it was publicly acknowledged that Traci was in fact an underage entertainer.

Suze’s daughter was eager to follow in her mother's footsteps and start a career in erotic photography. Holly Randall was 20 years old and a student at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, when Suze asked her to help her with the family run website. In 2004, Holly became interested in video production and started directing and producing all of the movies for the website, Suze.net and by 2005, her work had graced the covers of every major American adult magazine. She has also gone on to write several books including, Erotic Dream Girls.

Together the family's involvement in the adult industry dates back to the early 1970s and spans 2 generations. Suze truly was at the heart of the adult magazine industry. While living in Los Angeles, she was often flying coast to coast dealing, and even fighting, with the giant egos of the three most powerful men in the industry in the later 20th century. Hugh Hefner, Larry Flynt, and Bob Guccione all respected, did business with, and truly appreciated the eye of the great female erotic photographer Suze Randall.

Given her notoriety from Showgirls, it isn&rsquo;t that surprising that Elizabeth Berkley&rsquo;s first passion was ballet. A dancer, model, and child actor who had guest starred on Silver Spoons along side fellow child actor Ricky Schroder, Berkley had just turned eighteen when she landed the role of Jessie Spano on the 90s teen hit Saved By the Bell. She was one of the first contemporary teen actresses to transform into a sex symbol on network television. Saved by the Bell first aired in 1989. Six years later, her sexualization was completed with the starring role in the cult classic Showgirls, by renowned director Paul Verhoven. She would set the stage for similar teen transformations like High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens, Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus and Wizard of Waverly Place's Selena Gomez.

Join us and answer the immortal question of whether or not these girls have butt plugs or not. A butt plug is a sex toy that is designed to be inserted into the rectum for sexual pleasure. In some ways, they are similar to a dildo, but they tend to be shorter, and have a flanged end to prevent the device from being lost inside the rectum.

Grindhouse is a return to the world of the real. It&rsquo;s a realm where not every filmgoer is an upscale Mom and Dad taking the kids out to see some Pixar bugs twitter and crack wise. It&rsquo;s a place where demented Vietnam vets with hooks for hands, abused hookers weeping that their daddy-man don&rsquo;t love &lsquo;em, crazed Dahmers and Gacys in waiting stare at the slaughtered women on the screen and scream, "Yes yes! Do it, do it!" Is it emotionally wholesome and chemically clean? Hell no. But it&rsquo;s a lot of fun. These theaters have taken shut-down burlesque halls and transformed them into grindhouse arenas that air exploitation films. From Woods Theatre in Chicago to Castro Theatre in San Francisco, dive into the vintage universe of grindhouse at these theaters.

Ink was once forbidden by parents of the middle and upper class, across a country deeply divided by wealth and politics. As a generation has turned over since the more conservative later 20th century, there is renewed interest in self assertion, self actualization and self expression. An era of tattoo models, once allocated to a small sub niche culture has gained significant momentum since the turn of the century. The hottest models have evolved into commercial brands and hot hosts of tattoo culture. The millennials were born to parents who were once denied the privilege of ink. They turn a blind eye and live vicariously through a generation more tatted than any that came before them. Women were once second class citizens in the tattoo community. As much as the previous century did for women's political rights, and equality in the work force, the 21st century is responsible for equality in the tattoo parlors and biker clubs. Todays women where their tattoos proudly, baring public messages on private parts.

Sex. What about it? It's freaking amazing! When it's done right, of course. But either way, it's a gateway to so much. It's like initial sex is the gateway drug to finding out about oral sex, BDSM etc. Anything you can imagine, it's more than likely something you can find in sex. Let's discuss some of my personal things that I want to have happen in my sex life and what I've already had a taste of in the past.

Imagine creating your dream girl who doesn’t argue, complain, PMS, nag or say “I’m too tired” when you’re looking for some action.

Many well known stars make good bank on their sex doll molds. Belladonna and the notorious Sasha Grey, two of the most well-known porn stars in the adult entertainment industry, have their own sex dolls on the retail market.
